At this point that's the best solution. As I said, a lot of bucketshops look for victims there. Maybe over time they'd ease the ban and allow the legitimate companies to advertise themselves, but it will take some time to sort them all out.

I am not at all surprised, to be honest, a lot of bucketshops look for victims on Facebook.

Yeah! I agree that this is a good thing. Many people just believe anything on Facebook, to the extent that it has become the source of information for a lot of people I know. If it wasn't for BabyPips forums, I would have probably been a victim. Lol

There is, in general, a lot of deeply unethical advertising in the trading industry. People who have some expereince have learned to recognize that, newbies though take such ads at their face value, even when the ad isn't issued by a scammer.

But I think I have to agree with @mlawson71 on this. I'm not really sure what to feel about it too since Facebook is already one of the most toxic places already. Like, I could really see so many people misusing these new features for selfish gains.

"......That could eventually lead to a way for Facebook to bury these comments, or the people that post them. However, this will only open up more questions about censorship and what qualifies as inappropriate at a time when Facebook is already struggling to manage its responsibilities........."

Another step towards the complete removal of free speech and towards a society which is intolerant of diverse views IMO.

Facebook is banning stuff all the time, at some point, the only things you will be allowed to post are gay porn and cute cat videos, then they will ban the cat videos

Hahahah, @Dennis3450 imagine if that happens... Anyway, I really hate all kinds of ads, I find them very annoying and never trust them. That's a fair move from the Facebook company.@mlawson71, if you wish to share what happened, how did you get scammed? Was it a regular bucket shop or a more reputable broker?
